WHO WE ARE

Simplifying contractor
management since 1992

CXC was founded in Australia in 1992 — more than 30 years ago.

And we’ve been working hard to simplify the world of work for our clients ever since. Read on to learn more about our story.

From 1992 to today

When we opened our doors in the early ‘90s, the term ‘contingent workforce’ didn’t really exist. Instead, people mostly talked about ‘temporary workers’, which conjured up images of secretarial and administrative workers, or seasonal workers in retail or hospitality. Back then, our main offering was vetting contractors for placement into organisations. We made sure they were compliantly engaged and managed payroll for them too.

As the use of non-permanent workers began to increase, we realised that something needed to change. Today, engaging and managing contractors is still one of our primary offerings. But the workforce landscape is much more complex than it was 30 years ago. There are more worker and job types than ever before, and companies that engage contractors are operating in an increasingly regulated environment.

New solutions for a changing landscape

Today’s workers have radically different values and priorities than even ten years ago.

Add to this the advent of the gig economy, the increasing use of ‘temporary workers’ as a permanent workforce strategy and the heightened government scrutiny on contract workers around the world, and one thing is clear.

Today’s businesses need to adopt new ways of thinking to remain competitive while safeguarding their brands from risk.

CXC today

During the past three decades, the landscape we work in has irrevocably changed. Thankfully, we’ve been able to change with it, adapting our policies, services and advice for the world we live in now. Over the 30+ years that we’ve been in business, we’ve developed an international, multi-faceted and comprehensive talent management and workforce compliance solution to take the hassle out of engaging, managing and paying non-permanent workers. 

Sure, we still pay and manage contractors for our clients. But we also help them to source top-tier contingent talent and compliantly engage workers anywhere in the world. Everything we do is backed up by the knowledge and experience that we’ve gathered over our 30 years in business. We know what we’re talking about — and we’re happy to share that expertise with our clients.

What we believe

Managing your contingent workforce shouldn’t be a hassle

Compliance and vetting. Timesheets and expenses. Workplace safety. Care and benefits. Contingent workforce management involves a lot of different tasks and processes — but that doesn’t mean it needs to give you a headache. We work with our clients to streamline and simplify processes until their workforces practically run themselves.

Where you’re based shouldn’t limit who you can hire

Hiring international workers can help you to access new markets, increase brand awareness and expand your business globally. But it comes with a lot of challenges too. That’s why every company needs an expert partner to guide them through the process of hiring workers abroad — without putting their business at risk. 

Compliance concerns shouldn’t get in the way of your business goals

Doing business means running into a lot of compliance hurdles. Things like contractor misclassification, permanent establishment and visa and immigration problems, for example. If they’re not managed properly, these risks can have big consequences for your business. But we believe these are just obstacles that businesses need to overcome — not barriers to success.
